jungle, or you can try one of the many routes on the rugged
bike tours, walking and sightseeing on the ancient Inca
paths and roads. History buffs will enjoy following the
journey of Che Guevara, whose last stand was here in this
country. He also toured the South American continent by
motorcycle, and you can explore these areas on foot and
by bus.

The wilderness and culture of Bolivia has remained largely
unchanged over the years. The lack of roads and development
is both a blessing and a curse for the visitor to Bolivia.

cyclists' endurance. Tour guides know the best places
to stop, and you will soon learn that a table with a white
cloth outside of a home means that fresh bread is for
sale. As simple as this may seem, warm, fresh bread after
cycling through the dark morning in 12-degree weather
is like a taste of luxury.
